Hello fellow humans. i am a squid human 🫠

  • Mick Lynch: Trade unions need to do more to quell anti-immigrant protests

    Jump

  • At its face what you say sounds correct but in actuality the division is inherent between worker and boss (repressor and repressed) whereas nationals vs's migrants is manufactured.

  • Microsoft looking to restrict kernel level access after CrowdStrike incident might help us with our current Anti-Cheat dilemma

    Jump

  • A legal precedent should be established to hold companies as large as CrowdStrike liable for their actions. This liability should be significant enough to ensure that future companies will think twice before releasing faulty code. We should not be asking for or supporting Microsoft's efforts to further lock down their product.

  • No to a billionaire takeover – Renationalise Royal Mail!

    Jump

  • But unlike rail etc. Renationalising Royal Mail would be bloody expensive. And not raise much revenue.

    I advocate for only paying the profiteers the true value of the company without speculation while also taking into account the money made. Thames water as an example has made billions while doing little to modernise and in this regard we won't pay much.

    Of course the cost is something we need to pay. As much as the Internet etc has rep.aced much of the need. Cheap mail delivery to non profitable rural areas is still something we need as a society. And needs to be funded.

    And if we look at private sector transport, no profitable routes get shut down essentially killing villages.

  • bias in news media

    Jump

  • That's what gets my goat - you'll speak to people and all they do is parrot the right's culture war rhetoric like that. The recent Guardian article was headlined that this isn't a culture war but then they go "Starmer can't define what a woman is" (without, presumably, trying it themselves). I presume because they only get fed the ideas through social media, they don't realise this is being incubated by think tanks, spread by the right wing press and then amplified on social media.

    Worst I've seen some what recently is Zoraya ter Beek with nearly every article titles: physically healthy. Some also say young girl. One of my friends had recently posted a hit piece that was very reactionary where I went as far to explain that she's and adult but even so my friend double backed his position.

    Fuck farage, the guy had people pay at trago mills to hear him speak. Can't believe people think him to be working class.

    And lack of critical thinking. You have to interrogate ever source and, just because everyone is saying something, it doesn't mean it's true.

    100% when I hear something crazy from someone I will investigate rather than contune the conversation. Its aweful that this is something we must do.

  • We're always building towards better, as Labour while left of Tories are not a workers party nor a socialist one.

  • UK General Election voting megathread

  • It's not a criticism grounded in reality; rather, it comes across as condescending and hyperbolic. In debates clarity is essential. I've chosen to exercise my democratic right to protest by spoiling my vote. Under the current political system, I see our society failing, and the available parties do not offer solutions. Spoiling my vote was my civic duty.

  • Both of your statements seem hyperbolic rather than coherent arguments. Choosing to vote is democratic, and your first statement about the minimum requirement makes no sense as, again, you’re speaking hyperbolically. I’ll leave this here, as you seem to lack political imagination and speak like a caricature.

  • no, my vote being a no vote effects all equally. fascism will come and i will stand with the trade unions and workers and this will count more than a vote in a geriatric system.
